The services in st. Miehael's Church on
Good Friday night were of very impress
sive character. The psalms of the ''lene-
bral' were very effectively rendered by
Mgr. De. Concilio, Rev. j. A. Sullivan and
Rev. J. J. Boylan singing in harmony. the
chancel choir singing alternate verses.
Several stanzas of the ssStabat Mater were
also sung by the church choir, and the SER
mon on the Passion was preached by Rev
Father Sullivan. He apoke for three
quarters of an hour and affected many of
his hearers to tears by the startling realiz-
tic manner in which he described the awful
and never-to- be-forgotten scenes of Cal
vary. The Alteration of the Cross con-
cluded the ceremonies.
Work was resumed on the new ST. Bird
gets Church last week, and the building
of the new and handsome edifiee will now
DO PASu0u Tdpithly IOIWaEQ. IL Is the H.
tention and the est desire of Rev.
Father Hanly to have Mass said in the new
church on next Christmas Day; but al he
is determined to pay for the work as it pro-
crosses, and to stop when the funds give
out, it is not certain that his wishes in re-
spect to its early completion will be ac-
complished. All depends on the cooper
alton of the parishioners. There is but lit
tie doubt, however, that they will carry
out to a glorious success the noble work
for the homer and glory of God which they
and their pastor have SO auspiciously be-
gun. swell began is half done"
line tour lots on the sournwesS corner of
Grove and Sixteenth street were pur hased
last week from the Coles estate BY Rev. A.
NJ. Hammer, rector of ST. Lncy's Church,
for the sum Of Sc, 500. The price is con-
sidered very reasonable, and Father Ham.
M or has made good bargain. This pur-
chase makes the church property of ST.
Lucy's It's feet on Sixteenth street by 100
feet on Grove street, besides that fronting
on Fifteenth street. The lots Just pur-
chased are to be the site of the new church
which will be ere cted few years hence
the present structure being merely tenn
porary and entirely inadequate to accom-
modate the large and growing congrsga-
ton. The new edifce will front on Grove
street Rev Father Hammer preached
tie sermon on the Passion of Christ on,
Good Friday night to a very large congre-
cation. He also preacaes the Easter SER
mon at High Mass to-day.
